The openATM Project : Recordings

The goal of the OpenATM Project at openATM.org is to make
Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) Lessons available to
everyone around the world.

The Open ATM Project is proud to offer
ATM classes online. Download (right click)
the ATM lessons to your computer or iPod (or other mp3 player)
and do the lessons whenever you want.

Many of these lessons are reinterpretations of (inspired by and
loosley based on) ATM Lessons taught by Moshe Feldenkrais at the
Alexander Yanai, Esalan, San Fransisco and Amherst trainings, or other workshops.
These rich and diverse set of lessons are available from the
International Feldenkrais Federation or Feldenkrais Resources. These
audio lessons are not reproductions of the original lessons.
For the online lessons, the sources - for example the
original Alexander Yanai lesson titles - are retained for scholarship
purposes and to properly acknowledge the ideas and structure of the original lessons.

OpenATM.org was founded by Falk Feddersen and is now maintained by a small group of like-minded individuals.

About Awareness Through Movement (ATM) Lessons

In ATM classes, students are guided through a sequence
of gentle movements. By moving slowly and paying attention,
the nervous system discovers
new possibilities and lets go of less functional habits or patterns.
This results in more efficient movement, a feeling of lightness,
reduction in aches and pains, and an increased sense of self-awareness.

The openATM.org ATM lessons have been downloaded in
countries as diverse as Australia, Austria, Brazil, Egypt, Hungary,
Germany, India, and the United States.

Sharon Starika: 1998 ATMs (16 Lessons):

I've had these lessons on audio tape for a long time. Recently, a openATM.org user did an excellent job of
converting the first batch of lessons to mp3 files, and now they are available to everyone. A few of the lessons
are cut off at the end due to the 47 min length limitation of old cassette tapes.
To comment upon or discuss these lessons
plese see the Discussion entry on this ATM series.

Jim Stephen's Hamstring Lessons (1 File):

These ATM lessons are the lessons that were developed for and used in the research study on Hamstring Lengthening that was
published in Physical Therapy (the journal of the American Physical Therapy Association) in the December issue in 2006.
